I apologize if this is the incorrect place for this post, I am new so my selection is rather limited I believe.
Short and Sweet.
Brand/Model: Dell Optiplex 3080 Micro
Motherboard P/N: 0HGFJM
Administrator Password is set and i'd like it to be removed
-MB as no jumper (literally says they got rid of it starting with this model, next option is the next thing I performed below).
-I performed a CMOS reset (as per manual - Turn PC off, then hold Power button for 20 seconds. ---It didn't work. no change.
-As per Dell's manual, I attempted a BIOS rewrite via USB using a particular method involving "/writehdrfile". ---It didn't work. Got error stating it didn't recognize the /writehdrfile command
Next thought is reprogramming the BIOS using my little BIOS chip reprograming kit. but i can't find a program that recognizes that chip.
At a loss here. The PC is still usable. I can reinstall the OS. But who wants to be locked out of most of the BIOS settings on their PC... especially their server lol.
Any help would be appreciated my doods.
